Happy birthday, Anna!

Today is Anna's birthday; happy birthday Anna!

I did not want to make it overcomplicated; so yesterday we did the crown (in the picture) and inflated the balloons for decoration of her chair and the living room. I would suggest all parents to have always in stock colored paper, scissors, glue and the like. With few things, you can really make almost anything! All my supplies come from Hema.

How to make the the crown:- Cut the colored paper in long pieces (around 10cm wide) and make a string of paper. Leave it open.- Cut a circle in a different color. - Draw the letters and the "2" with glittering glue in the circle.- Staple the circle in the middle of the string.- Make the flower with pink chenille. - Fix it with staples next to the circle.- Close the long string around the head of your child, and staple it together. This way you make sure it is not too big or small.

And, of course, cake and candles are also needed! For a two-year-old is also very exciting to explain the whole process of blowing the candles; practice it a couple of times before lighting them!
